Every year the Forest Service holds a Pack-in / Pack-out event to encourage campers to take their trash with them.
This year the Forest Service has asked TRAL to help with the manning of the 40 yard roll away dumpster.
This involves neatly stacking the trash bags that the campers bring to the Payson Home Depot.

This event happens during the 3 major summer holidays.
We need volunteers for the following days in three hour shifts.

For the Memorial Day Holiday, it would be Sunday afternoon, May 26th from 12-5 and then Monday morning, May 27th from 8-12.
For the Fourth of July Holiday, it would be Sunday July 7th from 8 to 5.
For the Labor Day Holiday, it would be Sunday afternoon, Sept 1st from 12-5 and then Monday morning, Sept 2nd from 8-12.

Please consider volunteering for one or more of the shifts. You can sign up for them on the TRAL Events Calendar, and when you register you will be given the option to sign up for specific time slots. You can sign up for as many as you like.

These events are a great opportunity to help the Forest Service help the users in keeping the forest clean! It's also an opportunity to talk with users about TRAL and responsible recreation, if they're interested. I believe the TRAL Payson trailer will be there, so our contribution to the effort will be easy to see. The local media will likely cover the events as well in the days and weeks leading up to them.
